This route centers restraint, planning, and painful pragmatism, forcing you to choose long-term stability over loyalty.

Rejection & Exposure (Leans Toward the Worst Outcome)

You recoil from what Jarek admits and tell him he’s crossed a line that can’t be uncrossed. You threaten to contact authorities or people with
